Hi Lurdes!!
How are you¿?
About the porfolio I think that I had improve a lot not only in grammar because I understand more oral conversations and the time that I spend writing is more fast, the ideas come very fast...jeje(it's a good thing).
The activity that shows that I improve my English I think was reading but all bring me to me something that helped me a lot to improve the language. All the activities are very useful, they are different and it's good do different things.
I enjoy the conversations with Anika and also the corners because you can do different activities and you learn a lot.

Dear Laura,
I'm Kate, an old friend of you. Do you remmember? This month, It has been three years since I moved to Spain. I told to you that one day you will receive one letter from me.
I live in a village called "Sant Pau". People are very kind and nowadays I can talk and write in Spanish. When I arrived there, some people helped me to find a house to live and a job. The neighbours that I have are English too.
The first month was very hard for me because I'm alone in this enormous area but I found lots of friends in some days. The greatest experience that I had, happened last year when I won the lotto and met my boyfriend. It's a good experience to move alone and I would like to tell you that you should come here to Spain some weeks.

At the begining of 2008, water levels in reservoirs across Catalunya were dramatically down, with an average volume of only 25 percent of capacity, just half what it had been 12 months earlier. Only 20 percent of plastic bottles get recycled.
